És conegut per propugnar l'existència de canals a la superfície de Mart, i convertir aquests suposats canals en la prova evident que havia vida intel·ligent en aquell planeta. Des de 1902 fins a la seva mort, va ser professor no resident d'astronomia en l'Institut de Tecnologia de Massachusetts. Lowell es va dedicar també a analitzar el moviment dels dos planetes extrems coneguts: Urà i Neptú. De la irregularitat de les seves òrbites va deduir que allí devia haver un novè planeta. El va buscar activament des del seu observatori, però sense resultat.

Lowell is pictured here in the observer's chair of the 61-centimeter (24-inch) refracting telescope in the observatory he established in Flagstaff, Arizona. Lowell Observatory is still one of the foremost sites for telescopic studies of Mars and the other planets. Percival Lowell made this globe of Mars summarizing his observations of the planet for the year 1901. - Loaned by Lowell Observatory The straight lines represent features that were first "seen" by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli in 1877. He called them canali , an Italian word meaning channels . The canali were also observed by Lowell who concluded they were canals built by intelligent beings. The canals supposedly supplied water from the melting polar caps to a desert world. In his book " Mars as the Abode of Life ", published in 1908, Percival Lowell presented his theory that Mars' canals were built by intelligent beings.

Percival Lowell (1855 - 1916). se graduó con distinción en Matemáticas en Harvard en 1876, viajo por varios años por todo el lejano oriente antes de comenzar sus estudios en astronomía. Se intereso principalmente por Marte y sus canales, como había sido descritos por el astrónomo italiano Schiaparelli. En 1894 fundó el Observatorio Lowell en Flagstaff, Arizona. Su localización geográfica a mas de 1500 metros de altura en un clima desértico lo hicieron un sitio excelente para la observación de Marte Durante 15 años de intenso estudio del planeta rojo, cuya superficie el estudio y dibujó detalladamente, Lowell estaba convencido y presionó para que se aceptase la presencia de una red de finos canales en su superficie. Concluyó que las zona brillantes observadas eran desiertos y que las zonas oscuras correspondían a zonas de vegetación y que el agua proveniente de sus capas de hielo polar fluían a través de los canales hacia las regiones ecuatoriales del globo marciano. El hipotetizó que los canales habían sido construidos por seres inteligentes que alguna vez habitaron al planeta. Sus publicaciones: Mars Mars and Its Canals (1906), y

    Extractions: Lowell, Percival (1855.3.13.-1916.11.12.) Amerikai csillagász. Bostonban született. A Harvardon végzett, majd az arizonai Flagstaff-ben 1894-ben megalapította a Lowell Obszervatóriumot. Nagy gondossággal tanulmányozta a Mars felszínét és bizonygatta, hogy a Schiaparelli által a bolygó n látott egyes felszíni képz?dmények csatornák, melyek arra szolgálnak, hogy a marslakók a pólussapkák megolvadt vizét a szárazabb területekre vezessék. Megfigyelései kés?bb téveszméknek bizonyultak. 1915-ben az Uránusz pályaháborgásait megfigyelve arra a következtetésre jutott, hogy a Neptunusz on túl léteznie kell még egy égitestnek. Életének hátralév? részét ennek a feltételezett bolygónak a kutatására szentelte. 1916-ban úgy hunyta le a szemét, hogy a keresett égitestet nem sikerült megpillantania. A sors fintora, hogy obszervatóriumában kétszer is lefotózták a keresett planétát, de azt a felvételeken nem vették észre. Hosszas kutatás után 1930-ban C. Tombaugh fedezte fel a keresett bolygót, melyet Plútó nak kereszteltek el.

Arthur's Classic Novels I. Atmosphere. AMID the seemingly countless stars that on a clear night spangle the vast dome overhead, there appeared last autumn to be a new-comer, a very large and ruddy one, that rose at sunset through the haze about the eastern horizon. That star was the planet Mars, so conspicuous when in such position as often to be taken for a portent. Large as he then looked, however, he is in truth but a secondary planet traveling round a secondary sun; but his interest for us is out of all proportion to his actual size or his relative importance in the cosmos. For that sun is our own; and that planet is, with the exception of the moon, our next to nearest neighbor in space, Venus alone ever approaching us closer. From him, therefore, of all the heavenly bodies, may we expect first to learn something beyond celestial mechanics, beyond even celestial chemistry; something in answer to the mute query that man instinctively makes as he gazes at the stars, whether there be life in worlds other than his own. Hitherto the question has received no affirmative reply, although the trend of all latter-day investigation has been to such affirmation; for science has been demonstrating more and more clearly the essential oneness of the universe. Matter proves to be common property. We have learnt that the very same substances with which we are familiar on this our earth, iron, magnesium, calcium, and the rest, are present in the far-off stars that strew the depths of space. Nothing new under the sun! Indeed, there is nothing new above it but ever-varying detail.

He is best known for his belief that there are canals on the surface of Mars and that these canals provide evidence for the existence of intelligent life there. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard University, Lowell traveled in Japan and Korea from 1877 until 1893 and later wrote books about East Asia. In 1894 he founded and became director of the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. From 1902 until his death, he was nonresident professor of astronomy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He predicted the discovery of Pluto , which astronomers first observed in 1930 at the Lowell Observatory. Lowell's writings include
